  • Publication number: 20230105519
    Abstract: A decorative structure includes: a plurality of base materials extending in a first direction and provided in parallel with each other at predetermined intervals in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and a plurality of panel materials, each of the plurality of panel materials being attached to two base materials adjacent to each other in the second direction among the plurality of base materials. Each of the plurality of base materials includes a protrusion protruding in the second direction. Each of the plurality of panel materials includes a body including an outer edge portion having a square shape in a plan view, and four legs provided along four sides of the outer edge portion. The panel material is attached by inserting the protrusion of one of the two base materials through an insertion hole provided in one of the four legs.

  • Patent number: 8073600
    Abstract: A controller of a field winding type synchronous motor is provided that can stably output torque even if the d-axis current pulsates by reducing torque pulsation without causing fluctuation in the magnetic flux acting on the torque. A motor control unit 100 performs control so that a desired torque can be generated from a field winding type motor 20 having a field winding 22f on the rotor. Based on a current Id flowing in the d-axis direction out of the current flowing in a stator winding 22a of the field winding type motor 20, the motor control unit 100 calculates an induced voltage Vf2 being induced in the field winding 22f and compensates a field voltage Vf of the field winding based on the induced voltage Vf2, thus suppressing pulsation of the field current flowing in the field winding of the field winding type motor 20.

  • Publication number: 20090071735
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a controller of a field winding type synchronous motor that can stably output torque even if the d-axis current pulsates by reducing torque pulsation without causing fluctuations in the magnetic flux acting on the torque, and also provide an electric drive system, an electric four wheel driving vehicle, and a hybrid automobile. A motor control unit 100 performs control so that a desired torque be generated from a field winding type motor 20 having a field winding 22f on the rotor. Based on a current Id flowing in the d-axis direction out of the currents flowing in a stator winding 22a of the field winding type motor 20, the motor control unit 100 calculates an induced voltage Vf2 being induced in the field winding 22f and compensates a field voltage Vf of the field winding based on the induced voltage Vf2, thus suppressing pulsation of the field current flowing in the field winding of the field winding type motor 20.

  • Patent number: 7495411
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a controller for an electric four-wheel-drive vehicle, which is capable of minimizing torque changes and consuming excessive power even when the excessive power is generated by a generator. A motor control unit causes an AC motor to generate desired torque by controlling an inverter. When the power generated by the generator exceeds the power consumed by the inverter and AC motor to generate excessive power, a current command determination unit in the motor control unit consumes the excessive power by increasing a loss in the AC motor.

  • Patent number: 7427849
    Abstract: The present invention provides a controller and driving apparatus for an electric vehicle, which enables a motor to steadily output torque even when there is an increase in the rotation speed of an internal combustion engine that drives a generator. A motor control unit includes a voltage/current command generator F10. The voltage/current command generator F10 includes a base command determination unit, which determines a base command value for the output voltage of the generator and base command values for d- and q-axis currents that drive an AC motor, and power generation operating point change means, which changes the command values that are output from the base command determination unit. When an operating point of the generator approaches an unstable region where the generator unsteadily operates, the power generation operating point change means changes the generator's operating point to position it within a stable region.

  • Patent number: 5408648
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing runaway of CPU using a battery voltage as a power source voltage, in which the operation of CPU and the power source voltage of the CPU are inspected at the abnormal operation of the CPU and/or at the abnormal reduction of the power source voltage of CPU, system resetting is effected on the CPU, system reset signals for the CPU are counted. When the number of system reset signals for a predetermined time satisfies predetermined conditions, it is judged that the CPU is in failure. When the abnormal reduction of the power source voltage of the CPU is detected, the counting of system reset signals is prohibited.
